Tybek - that charge takes you across the Grease, I need an acrobatics roll to see if you keep your feet. I will let you charge if you want to, but the check will be at -5. Or, give me another action (delaying and asking the creator of the oil slick to remove it is appropriate).

Tybek makes a valiant attempt to chase the bandits out of the room but suddenly comes across a really slick patch of grease on the ground.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Suddenly Tybek's feet begin slipping and sliding like he is attempting to do a very quick shuffling sort of dance. However, it does not take long before his dancing turns into a fall right on his arse. It does not take long before the dwarf starts introducing you to some new swear words.

Round 3-4 Recap
Showing why they are bandits and not noble warriors, seeing the tide turning against them, most of the bandits turn tail and run.

While Glorfin moves over to make sure that the bandit which surrendered is properly secured, Braden sends his brave hound charging at the fleeing bandits. With a snarl the dog clamps its teeth onto one of the bandits hamstrings and takes out a huge bite while twisting and knocking the bandit to the ground before suddenly blinking out of existence.

Arindale then circumvents Braden's greasy area and strikes at another nearby bandit.

Tybek, not to be outdone by the cleric of brew, takes off across the room yelling strange dwarven epithets at the fleeing bandits. What started out looking like a bad day for the last bandit, however, turns into a bit of comedy as the wild dwarf suddenly finds his footing less than secure on the oil slick created by Braden. Doing his best impression of Ranim's dance from the night before, the ornery dwarf manages three quarters of a pirouette before falling flat in his tail.

Finally, Ranim, Braden and Maegge make their appearance in the room. While Maegge draws his trusty sling and pulls out a small stone, the other two call upon the arcane powers seeking to confuse the fleeing bandits.

Both the leader and the frontmost bandit suddenly stop unsure of why they are standing on the broken remains of a hole in the wall of the moathouse.

Bandits
As the leader and one bandit stand wondering why the sky is so blue, the one lying on the ground with nasty fang gashes in his leg and the one with the imprint of Arindale's morningstar in his chest get onto their knees and surrender.

As this is happening, the last bandit continues to withdraw and flee managing to make it most of the way across the stagnant moat.

Arindale calls upon Cayden gift of movement and moves to L33 while they are confused and attacks the leader, Now your turn! Surrender of face the holy Wrath of Cayden! We can use our magic to hold you in place for a long time!

That's why I was not clear how far away the bandit's would be when he finally got to the end of the passageway. I was also not clear if you are still taking everything one round at a time. If you are, this will be my plan.

Round 4

Tybek attempts to reach the fleeing bandits but falls on the grease.

Round 5

Tybek stands up and pulls out his crossbow.

Round 6

Tybek reloads his crossbow and then moves across the room (I30).

Round 7

Tybek moves further down the hallway (J32), steps out and fires at any moving bandits.

That's why I was not clear how far away the bandit's would be when he finally got to the end of the passageway. I was also not clear if you are still taking everything one round at a time. If you are, this will be my plan.

It is not a passageway. This is a hole in the wall that leads outside. There are a series of stones that have been set up to allow the bandits to enter and leave the moathouse across the moat.

Braden, unless you want to Daze one of the surrendered bandits, the only one left is too far away from you, partially across the moat.

Seeing Arindale continue his assault, Maegge places a small stone in his sling and after whipping it around his head in a manner which gives those nearby a great fear for their lives, he releases the stone and it flies with unerring accuracy striking the leader in the side of the head drawing a small amount of blood.

Arindale follows this up with a mighty swing at the leader, unfortunately the leader is too experienced and avoids the blow even with his present dazed condition.

Finally, Tybek struggles upright and carefully moves off the greasy floor while loading his crossbow.

Bandits
Seeing the cleric in front of him and his way blocked by the leader, another bandit drops to his knees and begs for mercy. The leader is not quite as willing to give up yet and takes a swing at Arindale before again taking off across the moat.

Someone want to help me catch the leader, the rest don't mean anything without him! moves back up to the leader if needed but I think I am still beside him...not sure if you got my move in from last round.

Maegge observes his sling's effects with disappointment. Seeing the leader trying to flee into the woods, he begins making his way outside, following after Arindale and Tybek as possible to try and make use of his tracking skills.

He only moved about 15' due to the rough terrain and attacking me...you have plenty of options...

Braden was frustrated at the speed of the retreating bandits. He moves to the wall and with a shift in the fabric of space, appears on the other side rather than needing to squeeze through. He fires his undersized crossbow at the leader.

The first bandit is now across the moat and takes off running. Unless Arindale wants to run him down, he is gone.

Arindale takes off after the leader and makes several mighty swings which might have scared the frogs in the moat, but had little effect on the leader. Braden also fires off a crossbow bolt which whistles between Arindale and the leader causing no harm to either.

The leader again stabs at Arindale before once more turning and running.

Attack-sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Once again, the leader follows Arindale's example and strikes nothing but air.

Arindale - you get another AoO.

Party up - no map as it is just the one leader. He is not 15' farther from the wall. Maegge should be able to get his summon adjacent to the leader.

Maegge completes calling upon another creature of the forest, and everyone hears the shriek of an eagle as his Summon dives out of the sky to attack the bandit leader's face as Arindale closes from behind.

As the leader again attempts to flee, Arindale wildly swings his mace, but unlike the previous attempts, this time his blow is true almost knocking the wind from the leader and causing a bloody wound to open in the leader's shoulder. The leader continues to flee, however with the blessing of Cayden, and a trailing smell if day old beer, Arindale lithely skips across the stones. Just before he arrives, however, another green rip in the air appears and suddenly a squawking eagle appears before the leader. While the eagle does no real damage, it distracts the leader enough that Arindale is again able to land a solid blow. While it is clear that the leader is still able to stand, the coward in him gets the better and as with his minions, he drops his weapon and surrenders.

No more, you can have our loot, but please don't kill me. Kill the rest of them if you want, but spare me.

Tybek, not to be outdone, launches a bolt through the air. The bolt whistles past Arindale and the leader to land with a thud in the shoulder of the fleeing bandit. You hear the bandit groan, but he continues to run and disappears into the swampy undergrowth beyond the moat.

Arinale puts away his Morningstar and grins. He then picks up the leader by collar of his armor and gets in his face, Tell me why I shouldn't finish you here and now?!?! I gave you the chance to surrender earlier and you declined.
Do you have information we might be interested in? Speak quickly or I feed you to the Dwarf... he turns and winks at Ty.
intimidate 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

The leader looks up at you: What information do you want? I told you kill those useless punks, and take what little we have.

The closest brigand being secured by Ramin turns: Shut up you worthless goat. If we had run when we saw these guys we would be free right now, but nooo, you said they were weak and we could take them. He proceeds to spit on the ground. Worthless old goat.

Ranim turns to the one who spoke, an annoyed look on her face. "I'm afraid I don't know any songs to force a man to speak the truth, but my Aunt Illeana did teach me a tune that will rot a man's, ahem, coinpurses if you will. A trick she said for lovers who decided to seek comfort elsewhere. You all may wish to get out of earshot if I decide to play it for our new found friends here."

" What information do you want? I told you kill those useless punks, and take what little we have."

Tybek turns to the leader and asks him straight out. "Ahh want tae ken what yae're daein here in this moathouse! Are yae robbin people and taking their valuables or dae yae hae something tae dae wid Zugtomy?"

Brigand wrote:

"Hey! That's nae way tae talk tae yer boss! At least yae're alive fer noo. Besides, Ahh dannae care tae hear that tone being taken when talkin bout goats. Ahh knew a wee kid who was a loyal goat and he lived a long happy lifetime. If yae did some cooperation, mebbae you could be aroond fer a long time as well."

Arindale drags him back into the ruined building, Where is your loot, or is it just what is on you?
Now, answer all of their questions...if we catch you lying I will beat you senseless and start again.
He look up at the smarter members of the party to ask about any information they may want now that he has treasure question out there.

Glorfin looks up from his charges at the return of Arindale and the others with the one who looks to be the leader of the group. He nods to them "A fine chase, and well caught." though he frowns slightly at the threat of the beating. A whipped man will speak whatever lie stops the beating.

He regards the leader with a steady and calculating eye and awaits his first words... so that he might measure the man by them.

Now, answer all of their questions...if we catch you lying I will beat you senseless and start again."

"Arin, mae friend. Dannae gie the guy an oot by gie'n him the option o' saying 'aye its just whits on mae.' If he said that, Ah wouldnae believe 'em anyway. With a large band o' them and all the robbin that's been happenin lately, they've likely got a noice grand stash fer us all tae enjoy!"

Glorfin wrote:

"A fine chase, and well caught."

"Aye that was nae bad. Mind yae, one o' the bandits did get awa! Dae yae think we should be worried about em comin back and causin trouble fer us later?"

As Arindale drags the leader back into the room, one of the others speaks up: The loot is hidden in . . .

The leader quickly cuts him off: Shut up you worthless grunt. We have had little success, and what we have gotten, these worthless fools drank. what little we have left is in a box hidden in the corner of the room. As he says this, he nods his head toward the northwest corner of the room.

No, Tybek does not release any at this time. I am waiting for the bandit who started spilling his guts to start talking first, but in the meantime, he wants to see what the little stash the leader claims is all they have.

DM Chaos, did my intimidate not work? He should really spill the beans unless he resisted my roll of 20...
"Check: You can use Intimidate to force an opponent to act friendly toward you for 1d6 × 10 minutes with a successful check. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target's Hit Dice + the target's Wisdom modifier. If successful, the target gives you the information you desire, takes actions that do not endanger it, or otherwise offers limited assistance. After the Intimidate expires, the target treats you as unfriendly and may report you to local authorities. If you fail this check by 5 or more, the target attempts to deceive you or otherwise hinder your activities."
Not trying to rules lawyer you but he doesn't seem very helpful at the moment and I was checking to make sure you caught my check earlier...
